Publisher's summary

A collection of vibrant and incisive short stories depicting the sometimes humorous, but more often tragic interactions between Black people and white people in America in the 1920s and ‘30s.

One of the most important writers to emerge from the Harlem Renaissance, Langston Hughes may be best known as a poet, but these stories showcase his talent as a lively storyteller. His work blends elements of blues and jazz, speech and song, into a triumphant and wholly original idiom.

Stories included in this collection:

  • Cora Unashamed
  • Slave on the Block
  • Home
  • Passing
  • A Good Job Gone
  • Rejuvenation Through Joy
  • The Blues I'm Playing
  • Red-Headed Baby
  • Poor Little Black Fellow
  • Little Dog
  • Berry
  • Mother and Child
  • One Christmas Eve
  • Father and Son

This audio title is masterfully narrated by award-winning narrator and actor, J.D. Jackson.
